If there is one team which benefitted most from this year’s auction, it has to be Tamil Thalaivas. Not only did they retain Indian captain Ajay Thakur and all-rounder Manjeet Chhillar but they also signed the player with most points in PKL history, Rahul Chaudhary, for ₹94 lakh. And the Thalaivas desperately needed the reshuffle after finishing with a wooden spoon in both seasons. E. Bhaskaran will be the team’s head coach for the second consecutive season. The coach has led U Mumba to the title in 2015. Here is Tamil Thalaivas team 2019 which will look to make it to the playoffs for the first time in the team’s history.
